Angelica Remache Lopez is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in comparative politics, political economy, and methods. She holds a B.A. in economics and political science from the University of Wisconsin and a master’s in international relations from Harvard University. Her research sits at the intersection of political economy, migration, and democratic governance, with a regional focus on Latin America. Her current project examines political corruption as a structural push factor for emigration. She employs a mixed-methods approach in her research, combining applied causal inference techniques with original qualitative fieldwork. Upon completing her doctorate, Angelica hopes to pursue a career in academia, where she can continue her scholarly agenda and help build a more inclusive discipline, one in which students from underrepresented communities see themselves reflected in the academy.
The APSA Diversity Fellowship Program, formerly the Minority Fellowship Program, was established in 1969 as a fellowship competition to diversify the political science profession. The DFP provides support to students applying to, or in the early stages of, a PhD program in political science. APSA has once again awarded a new cycle to provide support for students currently in their first or second year as of Spring 2026. Please join us in congratulating the 2026-2027 class of fellows.
